What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill transfers from the Department of Corrections to the Department of
Children and Families the administration of all juvenile correctional services
currently administered by DOC. Under current law, DCF administers
community-based juvenile delinquency-related services, which are defined as
juvenile delinquency-related services provided under the Juvenile Justice Code,
other than juvenile correctional services that are provided for a juvenile who is being
held in a juvenile detention facility or who has been adjudged delinquent, placed
under the supervision of DOC, and placed in a juvenile correctional facility, in the
Serious Juvenile Offender Program, or on aftercare supervision administered by
DOC. This bill transfers the administration of those juvenile correctional services
from DOC to DCF.
